Deaner On Working With Kurt Vile: “It’s Probably Gonna Turn Into A Record”

Dean Ween and Kurt Vile have been working in the studio together recently (see below). In our new interview, Deaner explained that the pair have written four songs together, saying, “We just tried it and it worked immediately. No feeling each other out, no fuckin’ butterflies, no hesitation. We both just jumped right in. That’s ninety-nine percent of it. When you get to that spot with somebody where they’re not afraid to fail on tape in front of you or embarass themselves. He’s that way. It’s probably gonna turn into a record. I shouldn’t be saying that, cuz I have no actual proof of that. He and I haven’t really talked about it, but I know that we can’t wait to do it again (laughter).”
